Asperges me by Aires Fernandes — Lyrics
Asperges me Domine hyssopo et mundabor: lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor.
Miserere mei Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.

About Asperges me
This setting of the Asperges me antiphon for SATB choir is by Aires Fernandes. The composer’s lyrical lines and the rich, sonorous texture of the four-part writing create a profound sense of devotion. The Latin text, which includes the plea for purification and the words of the Gloria Patri, is treated with a deep respect for its liturgical meaning. The flowing melodic material and careful harmonic progressions build to moments of great intensity, offering a devotional experience for both singers and listeners. This setting is well-suited for services or concerts when a reflective and expressive sacred work is desired.
